This is not a good thing

"Take me with you when you go back home, that is the catch of letting you go," The man avoided his stare. Luis didn't withdraw his eyes and continued watching the male's side profile.

'What a face genius!' he can't help but lament. It is such a waste that this guy doesn't have the hots for him.

"I don't understand what you are saying," Xagrien flatly denied.

"You are a bad liar. You are a lightning power user. Your supposed clan is a hermit that is located miles away in the northeast for the past centuries." Luis pointed out.

Luis had a hunch about it on their first meeting. However, it is only confirmed after he checked it with Nicol. Lightning Clans are living in the Kaldini Mountain in the northeast, the steepest and the most dangerous peak of the Thilbi mountain ranges.

These clans enjoy a secluded status and would barely interact with other moon elf clans.

"Yet you are here and saying that you want to go back home. That only explains one thing, you are a part of a wandering rogue group." Luis explained with a smile, obviously confident with his deduction play.

"Who are you?" Xagrien asked, devoid of any emotion.

If love is like a rosary because it is full of mystery.

Then this male god is an ancient scripture from the time of BC which he can never decipher.

Should he tell him that he is the moon elf lord?

"Are you one of those people who had a conflict with the rogues days ago?" Xagrien questioned before Luis even made a decision.

Luis understood that Xagrien indirectly admitted it so he confidently moved towards the man. "Yes and no. You guys had a conflict with the Hyon Clan. While I am the reason why they went out to hunt. So I am here to clarify some misunderstandings that could probably made from that conflict."

Xagrien on the other hand is watching the bearer with his pair of purple eyes.

Luis must admit that being under such gaze of a handsome man emboldened him more. So he became more confident and continued his verbalism.

"I know that as a nomadic group, you must have had frictions with other clans. While you have your own prejudice about your fellow moon elves who belong to clans, they also have their own prejudice against you. This is normal since you didn't communicate that much with each other. So I and my subordinates are here to initiate the first step of connecting with other marginalized groups."

Xagrien stared at all his passionate blunders without any emotion. Then suddenly a smile bloomed in the originally expressionless face.

If ever he had seen Moses part the Red Sea in real life or when the Mt Vesuvius exploded and destroyed Pompeii, he is certain he wouldn't be this shaken.

When Luis see the male's smile it was like he had witnessed the gates of the heaven opening, welcoming him.

Oh, shoot. This guy is obviously his type.

Too bad. This guy is unresponsive to his flirtations!

"It seems that they are right, all things that are beautiful are not a good thing," Xagrien stated mysteriously. Then he reached out and touched the other's nape.

"Eh?" Luis said in confusion. The only thing that he knows is that he heard a short 'zap' sound and his body became limp. Luis didn't know that this handsome guy would actually attack him so was unprepared!

D*mn, this life or his last. Nothing good happens whenever he is trying to hook up with his type of men!

Xagrien carried the limping body of the bearer in his arms and fearlessly walked out of the tent. "You are my benefactor so I will not kill you. I will hold you as hostage until I get out of here," he whispered.

Legland, Nicol, Olyn and other moon elves immediately surrounded them with their weapons ready.

"You, scoundrel! Let my-him go!" Olyn bravely stepped forward. His heart beating fast upon seeing the weakened state of the lord that he is serving.

"Then clear out the way and let me leave," Xagrien stated.

"Do you think you and your clan can afford to offend us?" Legland is firmly holding a ball of fire, full of a threatening aura. While he is amazed that the young moon elf is already close to his strength and he appreciated the potential of the other, harming their newly born moon elf lord is a grave crime that is worthy of annihilation of the entire clan.

"No, but I am sure that you don't want to see this bearer with a broken neck. Now make way." But Xagrien was a tough nut to crack.

"No way!"

Upon seeing the thick tension and the impending bloody brawl, Luis tried to move his mouth to talk but he is completely weak. He can only make a low guttural sound.

"Ughhhhhh! Ughhhh! Ughhh!"

'Let him go and take me away from this guy! He is a red flag!' was what he wanted to say. Luis frustratedly blinks his eyes to add as a signal. His gaze met with Nicol who is just opposite of him.

Nicol saw the blinking and he fell into deep thinking. The moon elf lord has various ways to go around and most of his meanings are a mystery to normal moon elves like him. From the decision of ignoring the other clans and prioritizing the rogues to keeping his identity a secret from this moon elf who they suspect as a rogue. All these are not within their understanding for now.

The head priest who has a good head but has a very bad hobby of overthinking things thought: the moon elf lord must be up to something!

"Just do it! Let him go!" Nicol declared.

"But!" The others especially Olyn clearly do not agree with this.

"Hold down your weapons and retreat!"

This time the moon elves retreated with a wave of Nicol's arms.

"Don't follow too closely or I will kill him." Xagrien once again threatened and he carefully walk backwards observing the movement of the group.

Upon seeing that they will not chase after him, he turned his back and ran away with the confounded moon elf lord in his arms.

'What the f– did just happen?' Luis asked in his mind. He is clearly asking for help!

So the two entered the middle circle and the last thing that he heard as they go deeper into the woods is the frustrated shout of Olyn.

"You bastard! Your whole clan will pay for this!"
